But this is also the reason why Shadowslash felt a bit strange when speaking to them, the only ones that were able to resist these type of aftereffects were JM and the other monsters.
Reason for this is because they have been staying Safehaven Paradise a realm that Hentai was regulating and protecting, Hentai is capable of absorbing any type of energy without absorbing it's harmful effect and the greatest example of this right now is Shadowslash's ability to absorb chaos Qi and purify it.
So they just obtain the blessing without the aftereffects which was extremely unfair to all the populace in the empire.
No one knew of this aftereffects though as they already respected Shadowslash since before so they don't think that their minds were affected.
Back at the present the two higher ups of the great Adventure Guild in Thousand Race Empire is now trembling as they saw the beautiful approach, the one who is the most nervous is actually Steel as he sensed that the woman's attention was directed towards him.
Mary finally arrives in front of Steel, she then greeted "Steel it has been a couple of months!"
"How are you and your father? And what had happened to the kingdom? The sky is now exactly like the sky inside Safehaven Paradise."
Steel's eyes widen as he now realised that there is a high chance that this woman's identity is exactly what he had thought.
He started sweating upon seeing his reaction his sister-in-law have also realised that her brother-in-law's speculation might be the truth, Steel then took a deep breath and nervously asks "Empress Dowager?"
Mary became stunned she then looks left and right before pointing at herself in disbelief, she doesn't go out of Safehaven Paradise that often and since she was just a monster since birth she always had the mentality that she isn't someone special.
Seeing her reaction Steel immediately paled as he is now hundred percent sure that this was Mary he was talking to.
Without hesitation he bows his head to her and greeted "Greetings to her highness Empress Dowager! Congrats to your safe return!"
His sister-in-law alsi copied his action as she also shouted the same chant because of their shouts the people quickly turn their head towards their direction.
Immediately everyone's mind froze as they processed what they had just said a couple of seconds later they all kneeled as they cursed themselves that were disrespectful to the being that give birth to their amazing ruler.
On the other hand Mary was very confused as to what was happening, knowing her personality and the fact that she wasn't here when Shadowslash have returned and made the entire continent tremble under him Steel quickly escorted her.
Mary could only blindly follow Steel, on the other hand Steel's sister-in-law quickly informed the knights about Mary's presence and in just a couple of seconds they quickly arrived.
Without hesitation they formed a perimeter around her so that people wouldn't get close to her.
Mary looks back to Fragrance and her group she was clearly lost and what to do and her gaze is full of pleading.
Lucy, Dorothy, Foxxy, Flora and Flare all heaved a sigh of relief that they hadn't followed her because just like her they would definitely be confused on what to do.
Suddenly they felt their bodies floating and landed in front of the knights that were escorting Mary.
Everything became silent, the appearance of three children and a beautiful woman that is equal to Mary out of thin air is just too stunning using this as her advantage Mary quickly shouted "Those are my daughters and sister!"
Hearing her shout the knights also encircled them and they were escorted to Hope City which was the capital city of the empire.
As they go Steel kept on recounting to the group what had happened during their absence, they were given a shock when they heard that Shadowslash managed to conquer the entire continent.
When they heard his reason to do so they all agreed that it was just and they knew that even if he had no just reason to do so they would still support him.
Mary suddenly asks "By the way why am I called Empress Dowager? This is the first time I was called that was it made me feel strange."
Steel explains "Now that the entire continent is under the rule of our great ruler Shadowslash we must maintain the status of the royal family so that no one would dare think to disrespect you."
Mary looks at him with a hint of disdain as she said "No one would dare to do that considering my son's prestige not to mention he doesn't harm this continent on the contrary he is the reason why this continent is considered great again."
Steel agreed to her but he still continue to explain to her that they as subjects of this empire must respect her and her family.
Mary could only give up as she saw that even the knights agreed to what Steel was saying it seems that it was really rooted on the subconscious mind of the people that Shadowslash and his family are gods.
The little girls on the other hand did not care they just want to return back to Safehaven Paradise and play with their old friends, back on Demon Fox island there were too many restrictions for them.
They have been used to a life that seems to be free from all worries or restrictions that is the life Shadowslash had given to them.
Because they were being escorted in a grand manner it took them more time compared to what they had thought.
The news of their return have reached numerous people's ears and immediately many went to make a connection with them but because of the knights they at least avoid this kind of hassles as they travel.
Sans and Leafinia were ignorant about their return as the two were now busy in the project that Shadowslash have left them.
The Howling Ridge project still needs a lot of work before it could be completed but it could already house numerous Savage Beasts even though it was still incomplete.
Day by day numerous Savage Beasts would be thrown inside, the baleful Qi inside became food source and energy for them.
With only other Savage Beasts as their prey their fighting strength continue to increase as they survive longer in such a barbaric land full of death and despair.
But because the elite undead force that Sans have were keeping them inside the ridge not one of the disastrous beasts manage to get out of the ridge.
While Sans and Leafinia were in deep discussion Sans starts to tremble as he received a message from his subordinates.
He had left at least one subordinates in every major cities in this continent so that if there was any news they would be able to transmit it via one undead at a time.
Sans received the news of Mary's and the others return he quickly stood up and told those inside the room the news.
Hearing this everyone stood up in shock as quickly both Sans and Leafinia got out of the tent and both of them summoned their pair of wings and flew.
Leafinia's pair of wings were made up of vines that glows in green lively light, on the other hand Sans pair of wings doesn't stick on his back it seems like they were connected to him in an invincible thread.
The pair of wings were made up of bones but there seems to be some skin made up of entirely of yin Qi.
With each flap of their wing undead and nature Qi would be produced, because their wings is only considered support to increase their speed the two hadn't truly developed it after all since they were now Xiantian King experts they could fly with just their Qi.
Yshelia also flaps her wings as she quickly caught up with the two, with her mastery over the ancient runes she managed to inscribed some origin runes in her body causing her strength to have a massive increase.
The others saw this cursed they then looks at each other before quickly charging out of the camp, they knew that all of them cannot leave the project behind so those that were too slow to react would be left behind.
Just like Sans the elves also heard the news and quickly they relayed the news back to Safehaven Paradise as the elite elves came out dressed in their gorgeous outfit to meet up with Mary and the others.
Clearly unaware of things happening back on Thousand Forest Continent Shadowslash and the two major forces of the sea have finally agreed to unite through marriage.
Because of his prestige in the ocean none of the intelligent beings in the sea thought that it was unfair for him to have the two most beautiful woman in the area.
